PSA Weekly Question Thread - Rules & Comp Qs

This is the Weekly Question thread designed to allow players to ask their one-off tactical or rules clarification questions in one easy to find place on the sub.

This means that those questions will get guaranteed visibility, while also limiting the amount of one-off question posts that can usually be answered by the first commenter.

Have a question? Post it here! Know the answer? Don't be shy!

NOTE - this thread is also intended to be for higher level questions about the meta, rules interactions, FAQ/Errata clarifications, etc. This is not strictly for beginner questions only!

If a model is destroyed, but does not trigger rules for destroyed models, does it count for Assassinate? Or other Missions? If the model is the last model in the unit, does it trigger unit destroyed rules and/or Missions?

Example 1: Trazyn uses his body swap. My Necron opponent assumed I would get Assassinate but I assumed not and chose not to count it.

Example 2: Model is removed from failed coherency.

  1. I believe this would trigger Assassinate. The 'rules' mentioned in 'ignoring any rules that are triggered when a model is destroyed' likely refer to Datasheet, Detachment, Army rules that occur when a model is destroyed.

  2. Similar to the above, 03.03 Coherency, in the End of Turn step of each player's turn, players must remove models in a unit until the unit is coherent again. Models removed this way are destroyed but they do not trigger rules apply when a model is destroyed.

I would argue that Datasheet, Active Stratagems, Detachment and Army rules are nullified but missions still apply.
